Doctor Visit - Antibiotics to Treat Bronchitis

[dannyzmom]

I finally gave in and went to the doctor today after feeling like crap for 10 days. I have Bronchitis
The good news is he put me on a 5-day course of antibiotics...I took the first one with lunch today...so by Thursday I should be feeling better (good thing cuz I have a show Thursday night).

You should hear what I sound like - my kids have been laughing at me.LOL

Oh no!!!

I'm thinking my sinus infection is coming back. It really sucks cuz I have a TON of calls to make, but my nose is so stuffed I can barely breathe and I sound horrible.

Today my 3 yo told me his ears hurt.

I think I know where we are going tomorrow.

Thanks for the update Carolyn as I have been wondering if you were any better. Bronchitis is no fun. My DH had it so bad that it affected his oxygen level and he passed out. I had to get him to the hospital in December to get stitches on his left side of his head and he had to stay there for 3 days and the good ole prednisone routine followed him home for a week.

hope you feel better soon!

If I was closer I would bring you some chicken soup! Get some rest. I get bronchitis every year!

5 day - yeah sounds like zithromax or variant to me...works great unless you get hit multiple times in a year then it looses its impact like any antibiotic.

Hope you start to feel better and your voice comes back...get rest and stay well hydrated!

get better Caroline I hate being sick

 

[speedychef]

Feel better! Being sick is never fun, but on a good note, at least now you know what's wrong and it's on its way to being fixed!

 

[SillyChef]

I hope you are feeling better already Carolyn. Good luck with your show on Thursday!

 

[raebates]

Rest. Drink plenty of fluids (especially warm ones). Take all of your meds. Feel better soon!
